With a rotor diameter of 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) and a peak
output of approximately 1,300 watts the XL.1 is intended
for the off-grid home market in the U.S. and for rural
electrification programs in developing countries.
The XL.1 combines a number of advanced technical
features, including a completely new airfoil, to provide
the highest efficiency yet achieved in a small wind
turbine at a cost of energy ~ 10% lower than the current
price leader. And, the XL.1 carries the industry-leading
Bergey 5-year warranty.
The XL.1 is an up-wind, horizontal-axis, three- bladed
turbine. The blades are pultruded fiberglass, a material
that is over ten times stronger than the injection-
molded plastic used on most small wind turbines. In
fact, pultrusions have a breaking strength exceeding
100,000 psi, which is twice as strong as normal steel.
And the BWC SH3045 airfoil makes the XL.1's blade
probably the most efficient ever on a small wind turbine.
The XL.1 is offered with a tubular Tilt-up tower in
heights from 18 m (60 ft) to 29 m (100 ft).
The BWC EXCEL is a modern 6.7 meter (22 ft) diameter,
10,000W wind turbine designed for high reliability, low
maintenance, and automatic operation in adverse
weather conditions. It is available in two configurations:
battery charging and grid-connected (the pumping
version is not currently available). The BWC Excel is a
ruggedly built turbine that comes with the longest
warranty (10 years) in the industry.
Connected to the grid, the BWC EXCEL can provide
most of the electricity for an average total electric home
at moderate wind sites. The all new PowerSync II power
processor (inverter) is the most advanced in the industry
and it carries a full UL certification to the latest utility
standards.
The BWC EXCEL is most often installed on a guyed
lattice tower, which is available in heights of 18 m (60 ft.)
to 43 m (140 ft.). Tilt-up versions of these towers are
available for sites without crane access. Non-guyed
lattice type towers and monopoles (tapered tubular)
towers are also available to heights of 37 m (120 ft).
The BWC EXCEL was introduced in 1983 and it has been
installed at over 1,400 sites around the world.
